Biography of Adele
Everyone knows the music industry is cutthroat and complicated – and they're absolutely right. But sometimes, amid all the backstabbing and scheming, truly incredible stories emerge. One of them is the creative biography of British singer Adele.
Childhood and family
Future superstar Adele Laurie Blue Adkins was born on May 5, 1988, in Tottenham – a rough North London neighborhood notorious for riots and organized crime. That's how things were back then, anyway. The area was home mainly to Arab immigrants and working-class families. Adele's family fell into the latter category.



The first steps to success
The future British and global superstar made her first public performance singing "Rise" by Gabrielle in a school production.
In 2006, the singer recorded several demos. The songs turned out to be so successful that, without consulting her, Adele's friends decided to put them on the MySpace social service page. The tracks caught the attention of top British producers at XL Recordings. As the singer herself repeatedly admitted, the call from the record-label office became a pleasant surprise for her. "I picked up the phone and thought it was a prank at first," she recalled.

19
Her first real breakthrough came with "Chasing Pavements," which shot to number two on the UK charts just weeks after its release.Her debut album "19" followed just two weeks later. Adele was at this age at the time of its release.
Adele received her first music award before the release of her first album. She won the Brit Awards Critics' Choice Award - given to promising new artists who haven't yet released a full studio album. But that early recognition paled in comparison to the avalanche of awards that followed the release of "19." Critics heaped on the praise, dubbing Adele the "queen of soul."
21
Three years later, Adele's second album "21" surpassed the impressive success of her debut studio album. The singer started working on material for the album in 2009, which coincided with a breakup in her relationship. Many songs from her second album were inspired by these emotions. For example, the emotional "Take It All" Adele wrote at the time of a serious quarrel with her beloved, dark "Rolling in the Deep" – a response to her boyfriend's mocking remarks that her life would be worthless without him, and "Rumour Has It" – a jab at gossiping friends.


25
After releasing her second album, Adele found happiness in her personal life (more details below): she got married and had a child, which explains the long gap between her second and third albums. "The next album will come out in two years – I want to live for myself," Adele said in 2012.Once her son turned 18 months old, Adele returned to the recording studio, bursting with ideas for new music. The central theme was the joy of motherhood. However, her first attempts fell flat – the music felt boring to her. Instead of the promised 2014, the album was released in November 2015.
Personal life of Adele
As we have already mentioned above, the album "21" was inspired by her experiences after breaking up with a man. But Adele, a rather private person, doesn't reveal the name of the "culprit". Fans could only guess – who was this man who broke the heart of everyone's favorite?
In 2011, Adele found true love. Simon Konecki, the owner of a large investment firm, became the man who captured the singer's heart. Simon is 14 years older than Adele, but this age gap didn't bother the couple. By the way, the song "Someone Like You" from the same album "21" is dedicated to him.


In April 2020, Adele fans were shocked by her dramatic transformation: the beloved singer lost more than 40 kilograms. Many fans said they loved the singer just as she was, but Adele herself wasn't happy with how she looked. That is why she committed to a strict diet and intense workout routine.
